The Great Tunnel.

While the Manitoba is advancing with
giant strides from the northwest, the Mon
ana Central is constructing the Wickes
tunnel, which is to open the way from
Great Falls to the mining camp at Butte.
The work on the tunnel was begun at the
north end and has been carried in about
100 feet. The character of the rock SO far
has been very soft and seamy and progress
has been rapid and easy. A chicken
could almost pick the rock out. There is
no telling, however, what each blast may
bring forth The work of tunneling is to
be carried on by the aid of 1ngersoll drills
and compressors. There are to be two
compressors, 20x30 inches, one at each
end of the tunnel The compressor on
the north end is on the ground and
is now being set up. The compressor for
the south end has been ordered and will
be delivered in about ten days. Two GO
horse power engines are to be used, oneof
which has been set up at each end of the
tunnel. Six thousand feet of 5-inch pipe
will be used, one-half of which is already
on the ground. Sixteen 81 lngersoll
drills will be used as soon as the compress
sors are running.

A Horse Thief at Wo k.

Sunday night as Joe Herring was taking
has horse herd into the hills, just south OF
town, he noticed a man on horseback
who acted very suspiciously. Turning
sparply around, Joe started back to meet
the horsemen. but just as he turned, the
stranger turned also. and started at a
breakneck speed across the prairie. This
movement confirmed Joe's suspicion that
all was not right, and he started after the
1ieeting figure, and being better mounted,
succeeded in closing the distance between
them in few moments. The thief see
ing he could not escape by fight, rode up
near he fence which encloses 1ir. Gibson's
pasture. and leaping the fence, soon dis

town, but as the thief had ample time TO
secrete himself during the intervening
time, no effort was made to capture him.
The animal belonged to a stranger who IS

whirlpool into which the swollen waters
of the river fell fifty feet in frothy foam,
formed large rainbow with beautiful in
termingled bright colors which rested
gracefully on the waters and spanned the
river.
Never, he observed, had he witnessed
ANYTHING SO picturesque and beautiful, and
he declared these falls to be equal in mag

mighty cataract at Niagara.

sees in it the future metropolis OF Mon
tana with all the elements of greatness,
wealth, prosperity and beauty tributary to
it. The admirable plan of the city and its

elegant shade trees, called forth many IA
vorable comments from our distinguished
visitor, who made many friends during his
brief sojourn here. Judge Mcconnell left

Among the cows exhibited was Clotilde,
claimed to be the greatest milk producer
in the world, the property Of the Lake
side stock farm, Syracuse, N. ]. She is
Holstein, imported from Holland. and
weighs 1000. In the year ending Aug
ust II, 1886, she yielded 26,021 pounds,
eleven ounces of milk, probably the largest
yield ever known.
Next to her in the milk record, and su-
perior in some other points, is Eurotus, the
property of A. B. Darling of Darlington,
Nj, She produced 778 pounds and one
ounce of butter in eleven months, and one
of her calves sold for 12.500 at the age of
two months. She will be sixteen years
old the coming August and is still in active
service.
Jolie Second a Guernsey, and Duchess
of Smithfield, an Ayrshire, We're the most
noted in those classes. Iolie was voted
the best COW on the island of Guernsey in
1884, her daily average being thirty three
quarts of milk The Duchess has
record of 10, TS44 pounds Of milk in a
year, which places her at the head OF the
Ayrshires.
The largest bull in the world is Con

indeed magnificent creature, his light
hair like silk and his variegated hide
showing as clean and clear as the average
human face. Besides many special prizes
$4,000 was given in premiums. The

telephone poles on Sycamore street. After
it tell to the ground Deputy Sheriff Kirby
arrived and arrested Marshal Arnold on
war; ant sued out against him by Messrs.
Mccormick. Read and others of the Erie
company, for destroying their property.
Marshal Arr old was under authority given
him by resolution of the city council. The
Erie men think they had n right to erect
the large poles which were put up instead
OF samller ones formerly used by them. So
we have conflict of authority between
city and county officials that assure to prove
interesting
After Marshal Arnold was marched off
Deputy Marshal Cornwall laid the axes
mt the foot of another pole and soon it
yielded and tumbled, Then came
another warrant and fastened on to Corn
wall After he was carried away, like
sheep to the slaughter, Officer Ramsey
took charge, with Officer Beard on deck.
Before the warrant came for Beard
and host of others, the last monster
fell, bringing down with it about u
dozen telephone wires. But we learn
the complaint includes n dozen more
aud that they will soon be taken in A
